Evolution of Chromosomal Proteins

  • Chapter
Macromolecular Sequences in Systematic and Evolutionary Biology

Part of the book series: Monographs in Evolutionary Biology ((MEBI))

Abstract

We use the term “chromosomal” proteins to include various kinds of proteins closely associated with the chromosomal DNA. In eukaryotes these would be: histones, including nuclear protein A24; sperm histones, including protamines; and nonhistone chromosomal proteins. Some of the eukaryote proteins have the most highly conserved sequences known, which should be an indication of their functional importance. In prokaryotes the type so far characterized from several species is called DNA-binding protein.
